This web page features a collection of Easy Java Simulations developed for use in introductory physics courses. Topics include astronomy, momentum, kinematics, electromagnetism, special relativity, and more. Each simulation is accompanied by a lesson plan and a printable student guides. Users may run the simulations as a Java applet or may directly download a jar file version.

This resource is part of Project ITOP (Improving the Teaching of Physics), a graduate program offered at University of Massachusetts-Boston. The archived computer models are hosted and maintained as part of the BU Physics Simulation collection.

The materials in this collection were created with Easy Java Simulations (EJS), a modeling tool that allows users to easily generate modify and share computer models and simulations.
